I am awaiting the recommendations of the scientists and fisheries managers following on their assessment of the new data available, to determine what provision is made in the Wild Salmon and Sea Trout Tagging Scheme for the 2010 season. I expect to publish the appropriate regulations shortly, following the recent completion of the associated statutory consultation process.
